If you have trouble catching him some time when he does get out... try getting his attention and then running away from him. Often, they'll turn around and chase YOU. I've done this on occasion when I couldn't catch up to my dogs. But try it at a dog park or somewhere safe first, because it's not 100%. You need to see if he'll react to that.

My daughter has tried this trick actually - and it works about 1/2 the time.
Do you have any recommendations on teaching him to come when called?
I'm a cat person. Always have been. He's cat sized - and clearly not a cat. He sits on command most of time time - that's about it. We got him from a kennel as an adult dog and he's pretty well behaved - but not very trained.
I've got a book on dog training (for dummies even) - I suppose I should just read that instead, huh?
